Meizu Released in Belgium

Which can be the bond between Dane Elec well - mark which you perhaps know if you buy of the memory for your microcomputer, your telephone or your PDA - and a numerical walkman of Japanese origin? Meizu, pardi! The blogosphère specialized in the gadgets has spoken only about him for a few weeks: this audio/radio/video walkman numerical/plays is not only one “clone” of the iPod as there exists such an amount of about it. Not, it has obviously something of, how to say, of “special” and “particular”. This apparatus of the size of a iPod Nano weighs only 55 grams: first good news. Equipped with a going storage capacity from 1 to 4 Go, it presents an interface strongly inspired by that which populates the iPod - even the bottom of screen curiously makes think of Mac OS X -. Compatible with a very great number of audio and video formats (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MP4/AAC (not protected), WMA, AVI, BMP, JPG, GIF), its price oscillates between 119 and 199 euros including all taxes. Compatible Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux, Meizu will be available as of mid-November in Belgium.

We asked Guillaume You Kint (Dane Elec Belgium) to present to us from of excluded this apparatus on Sunday November 12. We will have then the occasion to test it and see of which wood it is really heated, behind these effects of advertisement and this astonishing passion on a market largely dominated up to now by only one actor…

Review of the Meizu miniPlayer by generationmp3

Superb test on meizu by the site generationmp3!

http://www.generationmp3.com/forum/Test_Meizu_mini_Player_M6-t39198.html

CONCLUSION:



With the miniPlayer (M6), Meizu offers a beautiful reader to us! If the design is very close to the productions of Apple, it is neither about a video iPod, nor of a copy of the nano iPod. Compatible audio, photograph and video, it is classified rather in the categories of Sandisk Sansa E2xx and other Creative Zen V More. Meizu succeeded in putting in 1cm thickness a screen 2.4 ", 4Go of memory, a microphone and a tuner FM. One can only congratulate them. But all is not perfect. If we are charmed to have between the hands a reader UMS with navigation by tags and a part audio which was not baclée, certain things are to be improved (ergonomics, video part) or absent (line-in, USB host). Perhaps how its successor, hypotethic the minis Player 2, will do (still) better!

Positive points:
+ full UMS
+ navigation by tags
+ design slim
+ beautiful screen
+ audio part (sound quality and effects)

Negative points:
- design too iPodien
- perfectible ergonomics (pad tactile and navigation)
- limited video function
- not of line-in or of USB host

Ten Reasons to Hate the iPod

No the tuner FM: what a pleasure of being able to listen to its station of preferred radio! Unfortunately, Apple did not have the idea to equip its readers with a tuner FM. Frankly, how much would that cost them to add a radio function?

Stripes: it is true, new the iPod nano completion aluminum resists the stripes, but its retro design points out a little the mini model. However, us one hates to retrogress. At the end of two days, the nano first generation resembled a true skating rink, after which it was found quickly emmitouflé under a case or a hull of protection.

Autonomy of battery: once again, let us not forget that the iPod of first generation spent less time to empty its batteries than an alcoholic to emerge a beer. Without speaking about the difficulty of replacing them. Meanwhile, the things did not evolve/move much, including for the most recent models. One finds gadgets Taiwanese bottom-of-the-range which last twice longer. Ca makes reflect.

DRM: numerical management of the rights = galère. Even if the FairPlay system leaves a little more room for manoeuvre, difficult to be found there.

iTunes: the service iTunes is oddly conceived. If we do not have any problem particular to us in dépêtrer, that becomes a little wearying to try to explain of them all the aspects with our parents or grandparents. iTunes is not convivial enough and it does not follow sufficiently Windows conventions.

No Bluetooth: As for is the tuner FM, really difficult to add a Bluetooth function to the iPod? It is however so practical! One could finally get rid of all this tangle of cables which take a malicious pleasure to be rolled up around us when one looks at elsewhere and oblige us to spend one hour per day to disentangle them.

The friend of the robbers: one cannot really be upset with him, but the iPod is so popular that to carry white ear-phones is equivalent today walking with a target in the back. Perhaps what while leaving the black official auricles or colors, one would manage to divert the attention of the robbers during a time?

The young people want of them new every six month: Steve Jobs itself recognized: the iPod must be very frequently replaced. It is true also that any general public electronic instrument which wants to be powerful very quickly becomes obsolete. But if Apple could make so that the kids are a little petitioning, let us be we eternally grateful to him.

No the widescreen: why to have preserved a format of screen as exceeded as the 4X3? We want of 16:9, the future is in 16:9! And as long as you are there, propose to us another thing that vidéos 640x480 on iTunes.

No WiFi: Apple could have proposed a iPod WiFi to us since good a long time, as Microsoft is on the point of doing it with its Zune.

iPod, we wish you a good and happy birthday
